G           C          G       D  
Beneath the cross of Jesus, I long to take my stand;  
G           C         G         D  
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;  
G          C          G        D  
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,  
G           C         G         D  
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.  

G           C          G       D  
Upon the cross of Jesus, mine eyes at times can see  
G          C             G         D  
The very dying form of One who suffered there for me;  
G           C         G        D  
And from my stricken heart with tears, two wonders I confess—  
G          C         G        D  
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.  

G            C         G       D  
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;  
G          C          G        D  
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;  
G          C           G        D  
Content to let the world go by, to know no gain or loss,  
G           C         G        D  
My sinful self, my only shame, my glory all the cross.
